Oh, you thought we were joking about the podcast? Is this just a game to you? Well ummm, sooooo, like, this is Real!!! We're doing this in THIRTY MINUTE SEGMENTS!!!
But yeah, we're still looking for topics and guests, so fire away with your ideas or get in touch with us if you want to call in.
If nothing else I promise you I will find a suitable Guile Theme to end our new experiment.
Oh man, the Friday before memorial day has to be a top ten least productive day. Correct? and no, packing coolers and buying food does not count as productivity, that's a necessity.
Anyway, time to get down and party. Tom Brady is already two steps ahead of us.
Obama is again, already two steps ahead.
Speaking of late night shows, Jimmy Fallon has been killing it. I used to absolutely loathe Fallon on SNL, but I have to give him credit for his Neil Young impression. Graham Nash What What!!!
The Muppets will make any movie awesome.
South Park took on the NCAA in a recent episode. I DARE you to not think of Cartman's ridiculous southern plantation owner accent every time you hear "Student Athletes"
For all the irrational Lebron haters out there.
Memorial Weekend is the unofficial start to backyard games season. I'm partial to Quoits, but it seems like everyone likes cornhole, so whatever.
Finally, The Indy 500 is this weekend. Instead of just putting up some godaddy ad with Danica Patrick looking sexy but not doing anything (similar to her racing career) Or bitching about how my childhood idol, Michael Andretti, always got screwed out of Indy wins. I'll just let Bunny explain it.
Oh sure, I'm posting this on the weekend, but that's because it's important.
You may have noticed that we've slacked on the posting a little. The reason is because we're totally lazy and we have fucking lives WE'VE BEEN BUILDING UP TO AN IMPORTANT EVENT!!!
You see, we are now 7 posts away from reaching 1,000. Yes, what started as an innocent Gchat "Hey Icehouse we should start a sports blog." Turned into a phone call "Hey Lattimer, we have a blog It's called The Ghost of Roy Hobbs" which then turned into another Gchat "How the fuck do you embed videos?" Which then led to another Gchat "who the fuck is scooter biceps?" "Oh that's Stovall" and the Rest is GRH history.
Skip until the end to get the actual shit storm
I still remember that phone call. I was walking into the library ready for my first masters class. But, damn the fact that Icehouse started this and kept it going was one of the better things in my life. That may sound cheesy, but it's true. We all put up with such bullshit during the day, and this humble little corner of the internets allow us, the writers, to hash out our love or rage of certain topics.
Icehouse once told me that a very smart individual once described our blog as "irreverent." For some reason I was really excited, because that's us. We do the real shit at work and GRH is our time to debate trivial topics like "what sport would politicians play" or "hey that dunk was awesome." However, on the same blog we'll go into ranty rant mode and talk about shit we think is wrong. We call out sportswriters when they get to high on the horses they're riding.
But again, we really do it for you, The Hobbers. I can't tell you how many times we get excited because someone says "hey that post was great" or "_______ is reading our blog" It really gets us motivated to find more funny videos, highlights, and topics to rant about. We've had a core group of readers, and you know who you are. We love and appreciate you.
End here for the actual shit storm So for the actual shit storm. For you the reader. You beautiful bastards who give us feedback. The spammers from China. The rando's from Ukraine. We ask what we should do for the 1,000 post?
We're thinking of trying to pull off a podcast, which we'll fuck up, but it would be a good time. We were thinking of having an allstar cast of our best writers and commenters. Maybe even having a drinking game. (If the game is any time I say "uhhh" you are all going to the hospital)
German Hank Hill Dirk made OKC look silly the other night, knocking down 48 pale and uninspiring points, none of which made while breathing through his nostrils. Last night, Alabaster Jones got his. And how!
This video pretty much sums up this series. Dallas is about as lame and white as Hank, while the new kids from OKC have flavor, like Alabaster Jones.
I think the Grizz would have had a better chance to beat the Mavs. They play a slowed-down game, and pound the rock inside, which are two things the Mavs haven't been great against historically. They also took 3 out of 4 against Dallas this season.
The Thunder play an up-and-down game very similar to the Mavs, and match up pretty evenly against them (until you get to the bench), so get ready for a lot of points.
The real tragedy of this game is that it's on ESPN instead of TNT. FREE CHUCK AND C-WEBB!
I have a strong affection for gym class. Some of you may have horrifying stories, or your teacher was a dick, but I've had nothing but positive experiences learning about physical education.
When I was real young it was kind of stupid. We did all that parachute bullshit, but it was still a break from learning cursive.
Then, in 4th grade everything changed. I got a gym teacher who didn't give two shits about actual teaching and let us just ball out of control. I'm talking basketball, pickleball, bombardment, powerball, team hand ball, and floor hockey every day.
In high school it got even better. Our teacher was so relaxed that during my free periods I'd walk into a freshman class and either hang out or join in a game.
I feel like we need to recognize our favorite games, so for this shit storm select your favorite PE game.
My selection has to be floor hockey. I love that game so much. In fact, now I'm going to start googling local floor hockey leagues.
